Bird a week #9

This time I wanted to play with metal, since I have been creating with other materials a lot.
My birds were hand sculpted with Fastfire Bronzclay and I added bronze embedded eyelets into them.
After the birds were fired and polished I added sterling chains and a Peruvian Blue Opal with sterling wire.
I am happy with this earrings, I love the combination of metals !!

About Me

I am a Mexican artist and I currently live in San Antonio, Texas with my Husband and two wonderful kids.
I am passionate about folk art and art in general. Working with metals, particularly metal clay, such as pure silver, bronze and copper, enables me to transmit through the pieces I create this passion I feel. I also enjoy making unique pieces of wearable art combining metal clay and traditional metalsmithing techniques using mixed media.
My work is a big reflection of who I am , where I come from and my big love for my culture and traditions.
